Abstract

Combine modality anti-cancer treatment, Concurrent Chemo-Radio Therapy (CCRT) is a recommended approach for relatively resistant tumor in clinical oncology. But it is relatively more toxic to patient, and severely disrupt patient’s quality of life due to systemic side-effects causing by intravenous cytotoxic drugs delivery, especially for those fragile advanced cancer patients. Intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy is another option for CCRT because of not only a better tumor respond documented, and also bonus a better quality of life improvement.

We demonstrated an advanced buccal cancer patient who had been heavily treated, but rapidly recurrence head and neck tumor for salvage treatment with Intra-Arterial Concurrent Chemo-Radio Therapy (IACCRT). Complete tumor respond was resulted, and also restored a very satisfactory gain on quality of life, ECOG had been improved from score 3 to 1. We concluded that IACCRT is a feasible treatment choice for fragile advanced cancer patient.
